Spring/Summer 2013 - Milan Fashion Week (First Part)

Capasa deliv­ers
a mod­ern and young spring/​summer 2013 col­lec­tion for Cos­tume National.
The safari-​​theme is in fact revis­ited with a rebel­lious and almost
punk atti­tude, as seen on the metal­lic details that often embell­ish
the looks, includ­ing the glad­i­a­tor san­dals or the unstruc­tured
shoes.

Redefin­ing Dolce & Gab­bana – Posi­tion­ing them­selves as the
epit­ome of Ital­ian fash­ion, design­ers Domenico Dolce and Ste­fano
Gab­bana have always had a cer­tain pen­chant for extrav­a­gance.
Book­ing the most promi­nent mod­els, keep­ing a ros­ter that included
David Gandy, Tony Ward and Noah Mills among oth­ers, craft­ing
col­lec­tions that boasted a flam­boy­ant por­trayal of lux­ury and
cling­ing on to a roman­ti­cized ver­sion of rural life, Dolce & Gab­bana had a suc­cess­ful track record.

The Ital­ian–Tak­ing the path all-​​to famil­iar yet beau­ti­fully exe­cuted regard­less, Ermenegildo Zegna’s
spring/ summer 2013 col­lec­tion took shape around the idea of
a hol­i­day get­away. Cre­at­ing the new col­lec­tion with their
Ital­ian man in mind, pieces came together with color and fit dic­tated
by the sar­to­r­ial whims of a refined fash­ion palette. Illus­trat­ing
an exquis­ite rich­ness, silk was the ulti­mate fab­ri­ca­tion as
suit­ing was inter­preted for the warmer sea­son.

Don’t Call it a Come­back – Eight years after leav­ing her epony­mous label, Jil Sander
returns to Milan with a new col­lec­tion that eas­ily finds its
foot­ing amongst today’s fash­ions. A self-​​proclaimed min­i­mal­ist
with a long his­tory of sim­ple ele­gance, sharp lines and cuts defined
the lat­est range. Achiev­ing the mod­ern def­i­n­i­tion of a clas­sic,
pre­sent­ing sleeve­less jack­ets and pump­ing up the
vol­ume of the white dress shirt, cour­tesy of exag­ger­ated sleeves.

Metal­lic Accents – For spring/​summer 2013, designer Christo­pher Bai­ley brings col­ors, both candy-​​coated and metal­lic to the closet of the Burberry Pror­sum
afi­cionado. A selec­tion of catchy neon-​​hued shades, used on coats,
shirts, trousers and acces­sories, empha­sized a slim and clean
sil­hou­ette that mixed these engag­ing hues with more quiet and
tra­di­tional shades.
